Abstract: 113,806. Enion, E., and Pellowe, P. Feb. 27, 1917. Calendars and date indicators.-A table of dates, set out consecutively in rows arranged at weekly or other uniform intervals, and without gaps or blanks between the months, is provided with a fixed or movable index member, whereby the date at any whole number of weeks or other equal periods in advance of any given date may be indicated. In one form, the table a is arranged on a movable strip b mounted on rollers c. so that any row may be brought into correspondence with the zero or starting-point of the index-member g. This member or the strip b, or both, may be movable in the direction of the rows, but in the construction shown, the member g alone is movable. It is guided in grooves in strips hand is provided with slots i and j to expose a column of dates and the initial of a day of the week. The strip bearing the initials of the days of the week may contain more than seven initials and may be adjustable, and the strip b may have tables on the reverse side for different years, the day-initial strip being changeable. The index g may be arranged as a fixture on the side of the frame, which may be in the form of an openbottomed casing or may be fitted to pocket books, desks, &c. In a modification, the movable strip is mounted on a rotatable barrel mounted in a correspondingly shaped stand.

Abstract: 740,253. Band fastenings. COOKE, R. S. Feb. 3, 1954 [Feb. 5, 1953; Oct. 23, 1953], Nos. 3227/53 and 29286/53. Class 44. In a metal band fastening for a box, a hook formation, at one extremity of the band engageable by a lever-controlled loop or hook at the other extremity of the band, is constituted by slotting a plate to receive the one extremity of the band and also raising one, two or more tongues of metal therefrom by a slitting operation so as to provide an upward projection or projections around the edges of which the loop or hook is passed or engaged. The metal band b, Fig. 2, is fastened around a box a, Fig. 1, in order to secure the lid a<SP>1</SP>, by means of the hook portion b<SP>3</SP>, of the plate member b<SP>1</SP> secured to one end of the band, being engaged by the loop member e pivoted to an operating lever d pivoted on a plate member c secured to the other end of the band. The loop member may be of the type described in Specification 696,234, which is referred to, and the closed fastening may be sealed at c<SP>1</SP>, as described in the earlier Specification. In another embodiment the loop is replaced by a U-shaped member, the intermediate portion of which is provided with a hook member to engage with any one of a number of slots or projections on the complementary plate member. The plates on each end of'the band are upwardly bent or cranked where they are attached to the band ends and the plate with the slots or projections is provided with a pair of integral upstanding side lugs to protect the slots or projections from damage. The bent ends of the plates reduce the tendency of inadvertent opening of the fastening. Battens a<SP>2</SP>, Fig. 1, on the box protect the bands and their fastenings. The bands b may be secured to the box base and/or walls.

In a combined furnace charging and poker machine, mounted on a travelling carriage the push rod 3 movable in and out of a charging bar 2 is adapted to engage either a poker 4 or the discharge plate 9 of an open-ended charging box 6 which has a slotted end 7 seating on the head 8 of the charging bar. The push rod 3 is formed at its end with an upwardly turned hook 10 which engages a pin 12 on the plate 9, Fig. 2, or a similar pin 13, Fig. 3, on the poker 4 which is locked in position by a further pin 14 inserted by hand in the head 15 of the poker. In a modification, Fig. 4, the push rod head 16 is formed with lugs 22, a slot 23, and an L-shaped slot 17 into which drops a bar 19 on the head 20 of the poker 4. Slight forward move. ment of the push rod 3 causes the bar 19 to engage the horizontal section 18 of the slot 17 and a cross-head 24 on the poker to engage the lugs 22 as in Fig. 5, (not shown). Further movement of the push rod 3 frees the extended arm 29 of a lever 27 pivoted at 26 to the poker from its engaging of the charging bar head 8 and the lever falls, the lug 28 entering the slot 23 and looking the poker to the push rod as in Fig. 6, (not shown.).

Abstract: 854,478. Moulding expanded thermoplastic materials. WMB INTERNATIONAL A.B. Jan. 31, 1957 [Feb. 3, 1956], No. 3395/57. Class 87(2). Pre-expanded granules of a synthetic thermoplastic material, e.g. polystyrene, are formed into coherent bodies by feeding them by means of a series of parallel screw conveyers 71 from a hopper 70 into one end of an elongated channel 56 of which at least two of the walls are formed by driven endless belts 20, 22, the belts being perforated to enable heated gas to be injected through the granules in a heating zone of the channel whereby the granules expand further and become pressed together to form a coherent body and themselves counteract motion in a direction opposite to the direction of feed, finally gradually cooling the coherent body. The heating zone comprises boxes 78 into which steam supply tubes 80 open and the cooling zone boxes 82, a cooling agent, e.g. air being introduced into one end through socket 84 and escaping through socket 86. The length of the cooling zone considerably exceeds that of the heating zone. The belts 20, 22 are backed by rollers 46. The side walls of the channel 56 may also be formed by endless belts, which may be as long as or shorter than the belts 20, 22. The tension of the belts may be adjusted by moving the drums 12, 16 by pneumatic devices such as 50 and the belt 20 may be raised or lowered to vary the depth of the channel 56. Specification 854,467 is referred to.

Abstract: 469,909. Garment suspenders. DICK, J. W. Feb. 6, 1936, No. 3673. [Class 141] [Also in Group XXV] The main portion of a garment suspender is connected to a tab or tabs for attachment to a garment by a fitting comprising two members, in one of which a hole is swivellably engaged by a headed stem on the other member, and communicates with a slot which enables the stem to be moved out of the hole for separating the two members, resiliently displaceable means being provided on or in the slotted member to retain the stem in the hole. In Figs. 1 and 3, a head 11 mounted on a stem 10 fits into a cupshaped socket 5 provided with a slot 9. Projections 12 adjacent a swivel hole 8 retain the stem therein. The stem can be forced past the projections 12. Alternatively, the slot 9 may be narrower than the stem and indentations may be made in the wall of the socket above the head 11 resiliently to retain the latter in place. In Figs. 8, 9 and 11, the stem 10 is retained in the swivel hole by a sleeve 29, which may rotate within the socket 5 to open or close the slot 9. A spring 34 normally holds the sleeve in the position in which the slot 9 is closed. The sleeve may be moved against the action of the spring by means of a projection 36 to allow the headed stem and socket to be separated. In Figs. 16 and 18, the hole 45 and slot 44 are formed in a member 41 which is swivellably connected to a member 42 by a stud comprising a stem 39 and heads 40, one of which is passed through the opening 46 so that the stem 39 engages the hole 45, being resiliently retained therein by projections 48. Alternatively, the stem may be retained by a plate 50, Fig. 18, pivoted at 51 and resiliently held in position by a spring 52.
